The Raven Boys Trailer by Maggie Steifvater

You guys know how much I adore Maggie Stiefvater, right? You can read my review of The Scorpio Races to witness my gushing. So when I heard about Steifvater's new book, The Raven Boys, I was totally amped. Just last week Steifvater released the trailer for The Raven Boys, and like The Scorpio Races and her other books, all of the artwork AND music is drawn and composed by the author herself. I'm telling you, this is one talented individual. Now as I mentioned in my review of The Scorpio Races, I have a love/ hate relationship with book trailers. Mostly hate. But Maggie's aren't just trailers. They are works of art, and I LOVE them. So here it is, the trailer for the upcoming release The Raven Boys. Hope you enjoy it:)

I had to watch it a couple of times to fully appreciate it, but I really like it. As with all her trailers, the music is haunting and such a perfect accompaniment to the artwork. And speaking of the music, Maggie also posted a very cool "Behind the Music" on her blog where she totally rocks that harp:) Inside joke. Check out the video here, it's really very cool and you guys, stuff like this just makes me even more excited for the September release of The Raven Boys!What do you think of the video and did you watch the making of the music video? Are you excited for The Raven Boys? Drop me a comment and let me know your thoughts!Here are links to Stiefvater's other trailers, my favorites are The Scorpio Races and Ballad:)The Scorpio RacesShiverLingerForeverBallad

That was... interesting. I have a copy of The Raven Boys ARC that I'll be starting soon, but this trailer really doesn't make me want to read it any more than I already do?... I dunno. it's weird. I love artistic animation, but the voice acting sort of killed it for me. :X

I would LOVE to hear your thoughts! Comments make my day and I really do read them all:)
